Having to listen to licks you'd heard over and over and over.............sorta like my relationship with my 86 year old dad.
-
At the time he first appeared, my attention was elsewhere. About 5 years later when he was "thrust" into my world, his Joan Crawford hair put me off. I hear he's a nice guy. Probably my loss.

Sorry I'm so damn late, but Happy Birthday Lonski!

Cancer. He recorded Adam's Effect in a wheel chair - shadows of Serge.
-
Check out Randy's tune Gingerbread. I was working away while the disc was playing and this track made me stop - I thought it was an unknown (to me) Herbie Nichols recording.
-

This is an NPR show I listen to on Saturday afternoons. It is really a series
of monologues/short stories built around a theme. A few months ago they
did a program called Music Lessons. Parts made me laugh 'til I cried.
Please take a listen.
It is available online at http://www.thislife.org/ .
Look for episode #104 from June 5, 1998.

I still remember his occasional features on the Carson show as well. Gotta spin some Perk today...
I remember one night Doc introduced him as Geppetto. The whole band fell out. He looked the part.
Arno Marsh is starting to look like a sole survivor. Go Arno!

So, between the two of them, Chuck and Chris have seen everyone but Buddy Bolden.
But I do have the recording.
There were two cylinders?
I suppose Karl has the other one.

Thanks JUSTINE.
PS My wife named her PT Cruiser after you.

Shit, for a minute I thought you be saying YOU get up in the morning and do exercises..........
-
It would be easier to name the ones I missed: Billie, Prez, Bird. Just about everyone else in past 50 years, from Louis Armstrong to John Zorn
As an old fart, I'm with David on this one. 'cept I never saw "Pops" live. I did see him on TV tons of times, but never in the same room.
I also missed Ayler.
I be one lucky MF!

Hey, Alexander, it doesn't take a mafia don to hate jews. In fact no intelligent mobster would say such a stupid thing. You know, they're all connected. Children of the East.
If you can use 'em, don't dis em.
-
You can't expect "major labels" to make new music you care for. The best you can hope is they make enough money to "justify" reissues of older recordings you want.
I think this is a good move for us.
-
Just out of curiosity, are any of those Desmond/Hall sessions (Easy Living, Take Ten, Bossa Antigua) on the OOP Mosaic box?
All are.
-
If you like this, Storyville did 2 trio dates with TW, which they turned into 3 lps/cds. Great late TW. I wish they would recombine the material into 2 discs, but this is great jazz piano.
-
Randy Weston Mosaic Select - see other thread for my comments. After this all I could think of was Duke's Far East Suite. Bluebird of Delhi is playing now.
-
John Anderson recorded with Mingus in 1946. The results are in the Uptown Mingus project. I remember playing the sides for Buddy Collette (over the phone) to identify the players, and he said Anderson was the soloist on Make Believe

Just started playing this set yesterday - lets you know how far I am behind in my listening - and am very pleased with the transfers. Little Niles sounds much better than my old mono original and no Jubilee lp ever sounded as good as the transfer for Piano-A-La-Mode. The unissued session is a worthy addition, indeed! I have not done an a/b comparo on the third disc but it sounds fine. Highlife has always been my favorite large ensemble Weston. Something about Budd's soprano in this context is very appealing. This lp inspired me to put together a Weston/Griffin/Blakey/Gillespie night at the Chicago Jazz Fest. Naturally I hired Melba as arranger and made sure Budd Johnson was there.
One small niggle - in the photos from the Highlife session Budd Johnson is correctly identified on page 13, but the guy identified as Budd on page is someone else. I am 99% sure that's Butter Jackson.

I don't know of a cd version of Coleman Classics (I kept my lp), but the America lp was reissued as Musidisc 500542.
-
Not currently available. The America disc was reissued on cd, the IAI lp was withdrawn after legal stuff by Ornette.
The America catalog (part of the French Musidisc operation) is now owned by Universal, and I don't think they will be interested in issueing a number of titles with "questionable" pedigrees.
-
I think Yanow/AMG, etc take an unfair hit from fans. The site is usually reliable and Yanow is a very good "generalist".
This is not a "fan site", but an attempt at a critical evaluation of works. We will always have disagreements.
Remember, Scott/Tom/others are rating Patton, etc against Armstrong, Bird, etc. This is tough for any writer.
-
Disc one of the MCA/Decca/Universal Early Ellington set would do it for me too...same reasons as mentioned before- all that came after would be remembered. But it don't get much better than this.

Thanks. I'll see what they have that I need. Interesting series.
